yay! My secret faery santa queen gift arrived today!
It are awesome! enough chocolate to stuff a horse, a lifesavers storybook candy box, the IQ challenge lateral thinking game (I think this is going to be a trivia year, what with ringorang taking up so much attention too!), a 'shock ball' (google it  ), and last but not least - a pack of Halo cards  sweeet.
thank you faery santa! Posted: Wed Jan 07, 2009 9:19 pm |

I hope everyone's enjoying their Secret Santa gifts!
If you haven't received your gift and haven't heard from your Santa yet, please let me know so that I can make a quiet inquiry on your behalf. I would hate for anyone to be giftless.  Posted: Mon Jan 05, 2009 8:43 pm |

Mine finally made it's appearance as well. Not bad considering it probably came by boat. I am now the proud owner of an autographed, leather bound copy of Ben Bova's Moon War. What made it extra special was that my Sekrit Santy included a puzzle just for me. I think it's a book code, but it uses various railroad stuff [one of my other passions] as clues to page # and so on. At least I think that's what it is. Digging into it now. Thanks Sekrit Santy! You rock!

Woo! My gift was just delivered (which was to be expected considering the insane weather we've been having here in the midwest).
I received the graphic novel adaptation of Coraline by Neil Gaiman (yay!) and Comic Book Tattoo, an anthology of comics inspired by Tori Amos songs (yay!) Thanks Secret Santa Sally!!!

Good Times
Opened my gift. A Ravensberger glow-in-the-dark celestial globe puzzle.
It was from natas. We had a nice time putting it together! There were no less than 3 bold statements included in various box inserts that talked about how their quality control guarantees there won't be any missing pieces, but there seems to have been a factory mix-up. You can either put in the 10 pole pieces that allow it to be displayed as in the picture or substitute those for 10 that make it a solid sphere. Really cool of them to do that. But this one only came with the 5 pieces for the North pole and a perfect 5 piece block was missing in another random area. Nothing a quick email won't take care of. But I thought it was funny seeing how they stated their assurance so often. It 's beautiful and much appreciated. Thank you Secret Natas.

fun gift
I wanted to get you something 'fun and silly' to go along with the puzzle books. It's forthcoming and will instead be a welcome home gift. Posted: Wed Dec 24, 2008 3:07 pm |

Thank you Secret Santa - I had fun trying to explain the puzzle books to konashark. They are beautifully illustrated and proudly displayed on the SWAG case in our den (pictures will follow).
I'm still not sure what you meant about the "Silly gift", though. Posted: Wed Dec 24, 2008 2:34 pm |

It is Christmas morning here in Australia, and I chose to unwrap my Secret Santa gift first.
I am delighted with MindTrap The revised edition. Thank you Unsecret Unsanta! I'll have loads of fun playing this. Now I just need to convince my relatives to play it this afternoon. Posted: Wed Dec 24, 2008 2:24 pm |

Oh yeah! I meant "simple" as in "simple substitution" - NOT that it was a simple puzzle, as my hour of pondering can attest. But I did have fun with it, because it was a puzzle all for me, me, me, and someone made it for me and got someone else at Mental Floss to write it down and send it to me - how awesome is that?

I just got my gift!
A subscription to Mental Floss magazine, because I had let mine lapse. I just love that rag - it's full of some of the most fascinating information. There was a note on the back of the card:
Look at all those doubles! The three letter words that couldn't possibly be "and" and "the"! This has to be a Vigenere. I spent an hour trying different key words. Well guess what! It's a simple substitution cipher. This is why I'm not in charge of puzzles.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you, ol' Santa ol' pal, whoever you might be! And thanks a million for the subscription!  Posted: Tue Dec 23, 2008 1:08 pm |
